Brand recognition is the goal of any enterprising organisation. Where competing products or services are similar, identification is paramount. A brand's identity makes an enterprise's strategy visible. Brand design is the ultimate factor that drives an enterprise towards recognition.
Ken Cato in Recognise Me draws on wisdom gained by the interactions of Cato Brand Partners across more than 50 years, with clients from over 100 countries and in almost every imaginable area of business.
By focusing intently on many examples of brand design and use, Cato shows how great brands are made by those who know and respond to them. His insights are interspersed throughout with those of leading personalities in business, the arts and community, emphasising the exceptional significance today of effective brand identity.

Tony Spaeth's contributions to the emerging field of Corporate Identity began in 1964. He was a firm believer in the use of design as a corporate leadership tool, integrating the social ingenuity of corporations and the graphic arts in the process of naming and design. Since 1990, as an independent voice, he mentored many in the next generation of designers and identity consultants. Tony collaborated internationally, and was invited to speak at conferences in Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Romania and Russia. He shared his expertise as a contributing author to "Across the Board", gave generously of his concepts and strategy tools through his website for Identityworks and through the Corporate Brand Matrix.
With degrees in architecture (Princeton '55) and an MBA (Harvard '63), Tony remained active in alumni public service initiatives. As an advisor to Princeton Project '55 and a founding director and secretary of Partners of '63, he contributed to a new paradigm in alumni mobilization and civic engagement.
